Public anger is rising at a deal to give Nestle cheap access to public water in Ontario. “Nestlé and other water users are playing the Ontario taxpayers for suckers and are laughing all the way to the bank. This follows hard on the heels of another privatization disaster of Ontario Hydro that was destroyed by the Mike Harris government in an effort to deliver it to private sector interests leading to the out-of-control hydro prices that are currently hammering customers. Our valuable natural resources are being sold-off and then sold back to us at a massive profit.”

SaveOurWater.CA and Wellington Water Watchers are accusing Nestlé Waters Canada and the Township of Centre Wellington of a backroom deal to privatize water—a "scheme that will jeopardize the local water supply." The Council of Canadians has called on the province to expropriate the well from Nestlé and give it to the local municipality.

Despite a recent victory by Oregon activists, the battle for public drinking water has just begun. “Nestlé, quite literally, wants to take public drinking water, put it in bottles, and sell it back to the public.”
